The president of the men's tennis tour, Chris Kermode, said Friday that the organization is owed $3 million by Rio de Janeiro's state government - and doesn't expect to get paid.

"It's left a very bad taste, to be honest," Kermode said. "We had an agreement with Rio Tourism. We came to a mutual agreement to terminate and the terms were very clear. Unfortunately, we haven't been paid. It doesn't look as though we are going to be paid."

The inaugural Rio Open is being organized by IMX, a sports and entertainment promoter. IMX bought the tournament from Memphis last year, and it is taking the calendar space of San Jose's SAP Open.
